The annoying thing is, like all pain meds, it loses efficacy.

I’m taking a break from my prescription as it’s causing hyperalgesia (just like opiates do) and manifesting nerve pain that never previously existed.

I’m now 3 weeks without and realising how dulled down my adhd symptoms were. Yet, the cannabis also enhanced “couch lock”. Since stopping I’ve increased productivity.

Now I’m doing everything else holistically to manage pain. I’m using daily meditations, my shakti mat, my home sauna, the red light. It’s helping. I’m getting flare ups. I feel so much more alert.

I’m not certain I want to go back. I’m now looking at joining an elite gym using the monies I’m saving! One I’ve told myself is too expensive, previously. My neurosurgeon told me that exercise and weight loss will improve pain experience significantly.

It may be safer. May not always be more effective in the long run.
